This sesame chicken noodle soup is going to rock your world! It’s one of the most delicious thing I’ve had in a long time.

and it’s easy, which is always a good thing.

I made this for myself yesterday, it was my dinner after I had to walk in the rain and cold for hours looking at apartments. Yes, I’m considering moving downtown to live closer to my friends but find good apartments at convenient prices is not easy in Shanghai.

Maybe I’ll just stay where I live now…I haven’t made up my mind yet…

One thing I’m sure about: I want this soup!

Ingredients (serves 2):

250 g chicken

1 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp maraschino wine

1 clove of garlic

1 1-2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)

1 tsp sugar

1 tbsp fresh minced ginger

1 tsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp chili sauce

2 cups chopped Napa Cabbage

4 cups chicken broth

250 g soba noodles

2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

1 tsp salt

Cut the chicken crosswise into strips ( I used chicken legs, I find the meat to be a lot more tender than chicken breast)

In a bowl combine soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil and the maraschino wine. Stir in chicken and let it stand for about 20 min
